Hmmm...In My Feelings?

Couldn't think of a title because I don't really have a single train of thought to jump on. I didn't make a post last week because I was in South Carolina watching my little brother become a Marine. It's crazy to even think about. He got married last summer, and now he's a whole Marine. Granted he turns 28 on Saturday, but still...

That's my first baby!

So, yeah, in my feelings.

Flying was interesting because for the first time in 6 years, we didn't need to go through customs, didn't need our passports (brought them anyway), and the time in the air was less than 6 hours total. I didn't know how to act. After 24+ hour travel days, I was ecstatic to be only flipping one time zone. As much as we fly...I do not enjoy it.

I am thankful to finally have a lull in my schedule though. We don't have a planned event until Memorial Day weekend. Feels like I been going nonstop since we got to San Antonio between events, birthdays, and holidays. I need to book an overnight stay at a hotel, order room service, and read my books. But I'm grateful that we are close enough to be home for happy things. The last few years we've only been home in between PCSes and for sad shit.

Speaking of being sad shit and being grateful, yesterday was my daddy's 3rd heavenly birthday. I will never utter the phrase "But who checks on me?" because my crew don't play bout the kid. It will never get easier but having people in my corner who will call or text me that they are thinking of me because they know it's a hard day will never be taken for granted. That's why I allow love to pour out of me like water. The river always winds back home.
